Augment Code is an AI coding platform built for large, complex codebases, giving development teams IDE agents, a CLI, cloud-hosted "Cosmos" agent sessions, and AI code review that plug into the editors teams already use. It is built by Augment Inc. (also branded Augment Code), a Palo Alto, California company co-founded in 2022 by Igor Ostrovsky, formerly chief architect at Pure Storage, and Guy Gur-Ari, an AI researcher who previously worked at Google.
Who builds it
- Augment Inc. was founded in 2022 by Igor Ostrovsky and Guy Gur-Ari.
- The company raised a $227 million Series B in 2024 at a $977 million post-money valuation, backed by Sutter Hill Ventures, Index Ventures, Innovation Endeavors, Lightspeed Venture Partners and Meritech Capital, for total funding of $252 million at that point.
- Augment is headquartered in Palo Alto, CA.
Core features
- Context Engine — deep semantic indexing built for enterprise-scale codebases, with cross-file dependency and API-contract understanding across multiple repositories; Augment says this reduces token consumption by 33%.
- Cosmos — a cloud "Unified Agents Platform" for launching, monitoring and resuming managed agent sessions, including reusable expert-built personas for code review, testing, PR authoring, risk analysis and incident response.
- Prism model routing — routes each turn to whichever model fits best, aiming to preserve frontier quality at 20–30% lower cost, without vendor lock-in; customers can bring their own model keys (BYOK).
- IDE and workflow integrations — native plugins for VS Code and JetBrains IDEs, Vim/Neovim support, a CLI ("Auggie"), plus GitHub, Slack and MCP integrations for pull-request review and team workflows.
Pricing
As of now, Augment Code's pricing page publishes only two self-serve/team tiers — earlier lower-cost individual plans (Indie, Standard, Community) are no longer listed there:
- Business — $100/month flat, covering up to 50 seats, including $100/month of pooled usage across LLM inference, the Context Engine and compute; LLM usage beyond that is billed at the provider's public API price plus a service fee; usage top-ups are valid for 12 months.
- Enterprise — custom pricing for unlimited seats, with custom compute sizing, multi-region compute, unlimited concurrent sessions, SSO/OIDC/SCIM, CMEK, ISO 42001 compliance and dedicated support.
Security & data privacy
Augment states it never trains on customers' proprietary code, and its paid plans explicitly exclude "AI training allowed" in the commercial terms. The company holds SOC 2 Type II attestation and ISO/IEC 42001 certification for its AI management system, and says it supports GDPR, CCPA and HIPAA, with a BAA available for regulated customers.
Who it's for
Augment Code is aimed squarely at engineering teams and enterprises working in large, complex, multi-repository codebases rather than solo hobbyists on a budget — its cheapest current plan is a $100/month team tier, not a low-cost individual subscription, and its Enterprise tier is built around compliance needs like SSO, CMEK and ISO 42001.
